Cops break up drug ring

Northern B.C. gang cops have broken up what they say is a drug trafficking ring in Prince George.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit raided two properties on the 1400 block of Nation Cres. on Oct. 9 following an investigation.

Inside the first home, officers arrested a man and woman and seized a sawed off shotgun.

Another couple were arrested in a vehicle parked in the driveway of the home, where officers seized one set of brass knuckles.

A second set of brass knuckles was seized when another male, arriving during the search of the home, was arrested after a small amount of cocaine fell out of his wallet.                

“Weapons and drugs were taken off the streets, disrupting the criminal activity conducted by those individuals that possess the highest risk to public safety,” said Sgt. Brenda Winpenny of the CFSEU- BC. “This significant impact was made possible as a result of the collaboration and coordination between CFSEU-BC and our partner agency, Prince George RCMP.”

Charges are currently pending.
